Kim competed in the 10 metre air pistol event during the 2008 Olympics on August 9, where he came third in the qualification round, with 584 points, and again third in the final round, with 683.0 points, initially earning a bronze medal. Three days later, he then competed in the 50 metre pistol event, where he scored 563 and 660.2 points for qualification and final rounds respectively, thus earning a silver medal.
Propranolol dopingEdit
On August 15, 2008, three days after Kim won his third Olympic medal, the International Olympic Committee announced that he had tested positive for the banned substance propranolol during a doping test. Propranolol is a beta blocker that is mainly used to treat hypertension, but also prevents trembling. Kim was stripped of his two medals from the 2008 Summer Olympics, making Kim the second athlete, and first medal winning athlete, to test positive for a banned substance at the 2008 Olympic Games. In the 10 metre air pistol, the bronze medal went to Jason Turner of the United States. In the 50 metre pistol, the silver medal went to Tan Zongliang of China, and the bronze medal went to Vladimir Isakov of Russia.[3][4]
Media response within North KoreaEdit
While media outside North Korea reported on Kim's disqualification, the Korean Central News Agency did not report on the incident.[5] On August 15, the day when Kim Jong-su officially had his medals revoked, the KCNA reported:
Kim Jong Su placed second in the men's 50 metre free pistol and third in the men's 10 meter air pistol.[5]
No news reports since August 15 have mention of Kim's disqualification.[citation needed]
